Muni Fast Passes up $2 in July
Who knew about this before this week? I didn’t. And judging by the lack of Fast Pass-related vitriol in our Twitter feed, it sounds like a lot of people didn’t get the memo. Read more

Ferret-legging, San Francisco edition
A ferret, right?
Says jyhuang via skarecreau on Tumblr:
Someone carried this #creature on the bus, it looked like a guinea pig or hamster but the body length was quite long. #Creepin #pet #rat #weirdthingsyouseeonthebus
In any case, this probable ferret is more gangsta than all y’alls for riding Muni out in the open like this. Aren’t they still illegal in California? They are definitely still adorable in California and on this transit vehicle.
A ferret is new for us, but we’ve had our share of aww-inducing animal moments on Muni. See also: Cat in a bag. Indignant pug. Skippy the service iguana.
Ferret-legging is a thing, BTW, but this isn’t it.
Solution to Muni’s back door (BACK DOOR!) problem

Sharon and Ariel made up a new verse to “Wheels on the Bus” for their SF-native daughter, so listen up and sing it loudly next time you’re on Muni. Read more
Jackass-inspired BART foolery
Nope, really, that’s it.
Hints of Jackass on BART—though not enough bodily fluid or harm to be truly Knoxville-esque—prompting confusion and vague concern from riders. Hat tip: The Snitch.
I’d be afraid of actually hurting myself and drawing the FOR REAL ire of people for causing a medical delay, but that’s just me.
The visual irony of BART snoozing
Our very own Laura of @caltraindiaries is no stranger to BART. And none of us are strangers to this. Laura sez:
I got on BART yesterday at Montgomery during rush hour, around 6:15. This gentleman was sleeping on three seats and effectively blocking seat #4. He was also snoring and appeared to not notice that 1) the train was full of people and 2) that the train was full of people because it was rush hour. I also especially liked that this happened under the “Help Us Keep BART Accessible” sign.
The visual irony is my favorite part. This rivals laptop guy lounging on BART and, rudeness aside, both are a little gross for them, right? These aren’t the non-absorbent seats, after all.
Send your favorite BART sightings to @bartdiaries, won’t you? Extra credit if it’s the aftermath of waking someone up.
Bat Signals Spotted on Muni
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na…
@grandview89 tweeted us this pic of people who will obviously love Batman and each other fo lyfe:
Matching Batman tatts on the N. How romantic.
It’s a good time to celebrate heroes, even (ALLEGEDLY) fictional ones.
